it was really looking like it was heading towards the 30-12 i predicted at around the hour mark.

I just forgot to calculate saffie fatique into my calculation

BS - You must have known Vickery would be screwed and we'd give them a 12 point starter, to make a prediction like that.
Vickery and Shaw are too old for this sort of stuff. Bringing Shaw in will be a mistake.

We need another option then.
"Can you predict the result after the game ends."

He desrves a large portion of the blame, but a part of it was the brute strength of Botha & Matfield behind the Bok front three. I wouldn't be shocked to see the UK papers absolve him a great deal, but I would be shocked to see him start the next test. Whatever about his performance, he looked shell shocked.

Jones had the exact same second row behind him and he started to screw Vickery's executioner.

If it were not for Jamie Roberts and Bod is God the Lions would've been f"cked.
Alot of changes pedicted for 2nd test. I am too dunk to articulate what I mean but I can imagin e what I mwabne.

Yeah, I know. he deserves a large part of the blame! Most of it even. Botha and beast did go off soon after Jones came on though. I don't know that Adam Jones is the lifesaver everyone thinks he is. I'd personally move Jenkins to 3 and Sheridan at 1.
